I have ordered a FV from another supplier, but I like the idea of renting it? Is there anything you can do?
It is possible we may be able to offer a rental on another manufacturers tank so please contact us to discuss.
Can I buy a tank from you?
Yes, we can supply new Ninkasi tanks, and we may from time to time have ex rental tanks available for purchase. If you are hiring a tank and decide you would like to keep it then please contact us to discuss what options are available.
How do I clean the FV?
As with all stainless-steel tanks it is important to use appropriate chemicals and thoroughly rinse with clean water. An instruction sheet will be supplied with the tank giving a recommended cleaning process.
What cooling system is supplied?
A freestanding chiller will be supplied with all pipework and connections for the tank sufficient to allow some flexibility in siting the chiller in a convenient location near the tank. The chiller will be pressurised and the fluid it uses is glycol based, the system is pre-filled with food grade fluid. COSH data sheet available.
What happens if I want to move the tank?
Please let us know and we’ll be more than happy to organise moving and installing it wherever you need.
What happens if I damage the tank?
Any damage should be reported straight away. We will work with you to assess its extent and impact. You will be liable for any damage that you cause so it is a good idea to check if your brewery insurance extends to hired equipment.
How are rentals collected?
Rentals are collected by Direct Debit. The first rental is collected together with the deposit (if necessary) ahead of delivery, then weekly or monthly until return of the tank.
What does delivery cost?
We have fixed delivery costs for England and Wales depending on the size of tank being delivered. Our delivery charges start at £300 for a 10HL up to £480 for a 60HL. All delivery pricing includes full installation, so this really is an “all-in” price. For Scotland and NI please contact us for pricing.
How do you deliver?
We have our own purpose-built delivery mechanism that will reverse up to roughly the final location of the tank, raise it to vertical and rest it on the floor. Final positioning can be made with your FLT. Check out our blog for videos of deliveries in action!
